James Russell Faulds
Missoula County
History of Montana, Sanders, 1913
James Russell Faulds, the editor of the North West Tribune, is a man of intrepid spirit, of lofty standards and of gifted mind. In the early 'forties a family of the rare old Scotch Presbyterian type came from their home near Rickerton Scotland and settled in Pennsylvania. The head of this family was named James Faulds and he was the father of several sons, who joined him in work in
the mines of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia. Both James Faulds and his son James Faulds, junior were engineers the latter having learned in America to make surveys and to run stationary engines for the various coal companies in the states where they
worked. They later removed to Glencoe Wisconsin where they lived until the death of James Faulds, Sr. and also of his son, who was the father of the estimable subject of this sketch. James Faulds II married a lady who was a member of a Scotch family who had come from the famous region of Ayr. Her father was a miner throughout his entire life and was one of the historic "forty-niners" of gold-seeking fame. He died in Placerville California in 1886.
In Yellow Springs, Dauphin County, James Russell Faulds was born to James Faulds II and his wife on the nineteenth day of April 1853. He was but a child when his grandfather and his father removed with their families to Wisconsin. Hence he owes to that state his educational equipment, obtained from the rural schools, the graded schools, and normal schools of the commonwealth. At the age of fourteen he did his first writing for the press. When only sixteen he first did pedagogical service. This work alternated with study and with the productive work of the farm until Mr. Faulds was twenty seven. At that time he purchased the publishing plant of the
Independent News and engaged to supervise the graded schools of the same place. Combining this principalship with the editing and publishing of his paper, he remained at Independence for two years after which he again enjoyed a period of agricultural activity. In the spring of 1886 his plans developed once more in the pedagogical direction and his ambition for a successful future naturally turned toward the promising west.
Miss Rosetta Mosimann was a daughter of Christopher Mosimann and his wife, nee Marie Bracher. They were of Swiss descent and followed the vocation of farming. Miss Mosimann became Mrs. Faulds on April 22, 1886 and soon after the marriage accompanied her husband to Montana.
Here Mr. Faulds had been engaged to teach at Thompson Falls. When he arrived at that place he found that a second contract had been made with a lady from New York to fill the same position. Mr. Faulds natural gallantry and his reluctance to resorting to a lawsuit led him to seek other employment. The toll road from Thompson to Murray Idaho required much transporting of goods. The
purchase of a team of horses made it convenient for Mr. Faulds to be of much service in conveying goods to the mining camps. In 1887 he accepted a position as teacher of the Stevensville school for the ensuing nine months. Mr. Faulds also organized debating
teams among the young business men of the place and acted as librarian. In the summer of 1888 he took up a preemption on the west side of the river and during the succeeding year he proved up the same. In the following spring he became secretary, editor
and manager of the North West Tribune. During the autumn of the same year he purchased the newspaper from the stockholders.
For several terms Mr. Faulds held the office of Alderman and for one term, that of Mayor. During his term the city waterworks were installed, the electric lighting system put into operation and the wide cement sidewalks built.
Mr. and Mrs. Faulds are the parents of one son and five daughters. The eldest of the second generation of this family is James Welcome, who was born at Thompson Falls in 1887. The five daughters are: Martha, Ruth, Russell, Kathryn and Elizabeth. James is his father's able editorial assistant and reporter. In times of especial stress the daughters and even Mrs. Faulds also contribute to the publishing office.
